Hi Kurt,

just in case you have really large datasets to work on, the rule-based
solution is not the most efficient. Here is another one, which worked on my
tests about 40 times faster:

Clear[fncHourFixAlt];
fncHourFixAlt[
   hours_List] := ((hours - 6)*# + (hours - 6 + 24)*(1 - #)) &@
   UnitStep[hours - 6];


In[17]:= lst1 = {18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 0, 1, 2, 3}

Out[17]= {18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 0, 1, 2, 3}

In[18]:= lst1 /. n_Integer :> fncHourFix[n]

Out[18]= {12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21}

In[19]:= fncHourFixAlt@lst1

Out[19]= {12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21}

In[20]:= largelst = RandomInteger[{0, 23}, 500000];

In[21]:= (res1 = largelst /. n_Integer :> fncHourFix[n]); // Timing

Out[21]= {1.25, Null}

In[25]:= (res2 = fncHourFixAlt[largelst]); // Timing

Out[25]= {0.031, Null}

In[23]:= res1 === res2

Out[23]= True

Regards,
Leonid
